Who ever believed in One Nigeria under the Abacha dictatorship?

The so-called 'One Nigeria' was far more feasible and desirable under Abacha than it is today under the repugnant, ethbocentric animal called Buhari. So I'm not sure what your point is. Anyone who questioned One Nigeria under Abacha but champions it under Buhari is a dangerous, two-faced thief who deserves to be lynched. No context. No excuses.

Smh. Surely, na all these so-called 'feminist' single mother born this one. She is destined to end up like her mother - the stereotypical angry black woman.

Dasuks:
Fair. I agree that the barefaced ethnic chauvinism this period is quite unusual. Let's see how things unfold.

My question tho is that these ppl once were the lifeblood of the army. Those MB areas. They had sinecures, positions etc. U cant have all that and appear so helpless just a few decades after. OBJ and Jona are still recent and they made many of their associates wealthy enough to be mini institutions in their domains. Plsu, SW and SS arent losing their lands to the banditry happeneing in KD and co.

U feel me eh ?

The only reason why SW and SS aren't losing their lands to these Fulani bastards is the geographical distance between them. I mean, other than that, the Fulanis are already a big menace holding the entire south by the jugular under this Buhari disastrous regime. Almost all major highways in the South (Lagos Ibadan, Benin - Ore, Ore - Asaba, etc) have been taken over by Fulani kidnappers.

Almost all farming communities in the South are under siege by Fulani bandits who kidnap, rape, kill and maim at will - from Delta to Oyo to Ebonyi. They always operate with impunity because they are immune to arrest. They own the security apparatuses.

The sheer audacity of these things is unbelievable. Is that not the essence of the so-called Amotekun for instance, yet the Fulani led federal security institutions are a hindrance, because they are conniving with, or at least providing cover for, their fellow Fulani animals in pursuance of an agenda that is destined to fail Insha Allah.

If we in the south were geographically proximate to the core North (like the Middle Belt) with overlapping boundaries, then the Southern Kaduna debacle would be a national phenomenon. Ask the Afonjas about their Ilorin experience.

Joshmodest:
@op do you ??
Accept or not Nigeria is a country that was never meant to be one , two. three or even 30 ...
fragment us into 40 units , people would still call for division ....
We were all just forced to stay together against our wish !!
I don't like the bourdillion chimpanzee but he's right on this !!

You sound confused. The point is that this ambitious thief wants to be the president of the same Nigeria that he doesn't believe in. Imagine Nnamdi Kalu coming out tomorrow to aspire to be Nigeria's president. That's the point. Don't grant any legitimacy to this jagabandit. He is not right on anything other than grand corruption, thievery and hypocrisy!

Dasuks:
But all these ppl in Southern KD Plateau Benue etc all rose to top positions within the army during the military era. What did they do with all that power and influence? In some periods ( esp Gowon and IBB eras) they were as powerful as the northern muslim oligarchy.

It's just like asking what OBJ or even Goodluck especially did with their power when they were at the helm. I think most of those who ruled Nigeria before now were somewhat considerate and cautious. Nigeria has never had such a callous, shamelessly bigoted and ethnocentric regime like the current Buhari disaster. And this precedent MUST be followed (and even amplified) by the next Southerner-- or Middle-Beltan led administration. If Nigeria (South and Middle Belt) can survive this atrocious Buhari regime, then the North must tolerate and survive whatever the next administration comes up with, even and especially including resource control/restructuring. If the North tries to fight it then the contraption called Nigeria MUST come to an end.

Awon omode yi sha. Your problem be say you no get problem.

This is a new low for FFK.

He doesn't have the temperament for leadership. These kinds of tantrums depict him as an amateur, sorry to say. He could have simply thrown a quick witted dart - a belittling riposte - at the journalist. Just a sharp one or two liner that makes the journalist look stupid for asking such a question, and then brusquely turn your attention to someone else for the next question.

This kind of childish tantrums lasting a whole 3 minutes just shows that this man is joke. If a storm in a teacup was a person, he will be FFK. All sound and fury, so little substance.

Anything 'north' na wahala.

If Tinubu (or anyone else from the South West) is who you're putting forward, then I prefer the North to continue ruling.

After 8 years of Obasanjo and another 8 years of Osibanjo, you're still talking about South West. Meanwhile the South East hasn't produced even a vice president let alone president since our return to civilian rule 21 years ago.

We have to get serious in this country.

Are Boko Haram jihadists and Fulani bandits not civilians? Someone should explain to me abeg. Why not focus on these types of civilians who happen to have automatic rifles which they are ready to use?

Is it not the height of incredible stupidity to only form voltron on unarmed civilians - who only fear you because you are armed (or can mobilise arms) while they are not?

What kind of useless, cowardly animals are these in our armed forces? Later they would claim that their generals are corrupt, or that they are not sufficiently armed because of bla bla bla. They are ALL mad without exception. The arms Boko Haram currently possesses, isn't it from these same military fools that they obtained them? How many times has Boko Haram raided the garrisons and formations of these cowards to sack them, kill them, and cart away their weapons, ammunition, and resources? Yet their biggest concern is how to 'deal' with bloody (unarmed) civilians!

With the kind of mindset the average soldier has, we shall never defeat Boko Haram. Even if you arm each solder with a ballistic missile. These idiots are all fools. All of them.

Okuda:
an educated tribal bigot and boko haram apologist/jihadist.. .

... is the most dangerous kind of terrorist/jihadist. The fact that he purports to be cosmopolitan and educated, in other words 'civilised', makes him extremely dangerous since he may be able to deceive the unwary and coax his way into positions that permit him to wreak unspeakable havoc. This bastard is evil and should be stopped NOW. He must end up like Charles Taylor after his governorship, which should be the last public office he should ever hold.

Barely literate abokki bastards forming lawyers. Just look at the poorly written junk of a 'press release' littered with grammatical errors, emanating from a supposed professional association whose principal tool of practice is the written and spoken word. Shameful..

If not for the repugnant quota system that has destroyed Nigeria, how would these fools even graduate from university - let alone law school?

Rubbish country.

What is the economic significance of the FG building a mass housing scheme in a backwater state like Yobe? For who exactly?

You're a fool. Failed, fake YouTuber.

Like this, shishi you nogo make from YouTube. Na poverty go reset your brain las las.

GamalNasser:
Don't mess with Ijebu man and his love for money

And his love for metaphysical, diabolical warfare. I know them very very well. But at some kinda age you need to retire from all these rubbish, make peace with your creator, and prepare for the Great Beyond. This recording and Leak is disgraceful for a man of this age and status. Shamelessness in high places. Kai. Unprecedented. Even the shameless Obasanjo can't top this.

GamalNasser:
The leak is still about the control of the Ghana games that caused the whole problem .Baba Kessignton is letting everyone know he had been handed the Nigerian right by Kashamu before he died

At his ripe old age, a man that is over 80 years, he is still so manipulative, shamelessly ruthless and obsessed with greed? Such that he will use his fellow (much younger) man's death to prove a point? This is unprecedented.

Baba Ijebu looked all shades of... Hmm. Make I no talk. Bad things a gwan.

And the recording and leaking of this call was for what purpose?

Evil evil evil. Even at this grand old age? Tufia.

But Buruji should have known better as a proper Yoruba man who knows the traditional ropes. Some battles aren't worth it. Quite stupid I think.

Correct papa wey sabi. Hire clean babes to knack any potential spirit of gayness out of the boys.

b3llo:
Scammer wey get mind. He is taking advantage of our weak Criminal and Justice System.

Did he scam you out of that old tattered shoe that you've been trekking with for years? Who or what did he scam that you know of?

Nigeria is a sad country. This isn't funny anymore. A country governed like a jungle.... Lawless. How can a Federal Government institution like the EFCC arrest someone without evidence, without reasonable charges, and without any real reason other than because some bastards within the top echelon feel annoyed that someone had the audacity to reclaim his property (illegally seized by the commission)? They expected him to surrender the wristwatches and let go just like that. Because others have been doing that, so it is the 'new normal'?

God I HATE this country. It can never be salvaged.

The soldier must be the biggest idiot in the world, to allow himself to be arrested and paraded by bigger thieves in th EFCC. I'd rather shoot them.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Do u know of the two other presidents he was also talking about??

Equatorial Guinea is out of it.

South Sudan, Zambia.... Then perhaps Senegal. He didn't install per se. Just sponsored the successful movement.

This matter get k leg.

This Boko Haram commander and Fulani bandits mobiliser should shut up.

Excuses:
It's rather true but children of hate won't understand,they are wired one way.

I'm a proud 'child of hate' just expressing my objective opinion, so I'm not sure what you mean.

The problem with Innoson is this....

It is easier to succeed in the motorcycle business (low class, price-sensitive customers) than the motorcar business ( 'cachet' conscious, higher income earners). Most people would rather spend N3.5m on a Toks Toyota, Honda, or Lexus 2010-2014, than spend same amount on a mid range brand new 2020 Innoson. The latter lacks finnese and cache. People buy Innoson cars out of pity or to satisfy certain local content sentiments so to say, not out of genuine desire/want.

Only a very deliberate and very stern government policy can 'force' people to buy 'swag less', lower quality local products. And government wouldn't do that for Innoson. Maybe they would have done that for the likes of Dangote, unfortunately.

The dynamics that brought success in the okada business simply can't work for the car business. That said, one can't help but admire the business acumen and industry of this illustrious man.

softeeg:
This is because when you go into any business, you have to put your own ideas in it and when you do, the difference will be clear and you can make more money than others. You can also drop the business when you think there isn’t much interest in it again. So, to succeed in any business, don’t follow the crowd, always bring your own initiatives. With that, you will be able to make profits.

Loud it.

Thank God for beer. My belle dey quick full before my brain, so no possibility of stupid highness.

God punish spirit.

Jeffyblaq:
This money lavished on his burial would have go a long way in alleviating poverty in his hometown.

It means nuttin as it doesn't make any sense to me.

Don't be silly. Is it his family's responsibility to alleviate poverty in their hometown rather than give their patriarch a befitting burial according to social norms? Which poverty should they even alleviate?

All you over-entitled and ungrateful bad bellics who think successful people should empty their accounts and liquidate their assets to 'help' the whole world. It's quite annoying.

One of Anambra's 100/100 gone (100 people worth over N100 billion).

Nigeria is in big trouble.
